About The Winemaker:
Stephen’s wine journey began in Boston, waiting tables in the city’s vibrant restaurant scene while studying music. He quickly discovered a strong affinity for wine, and traded one passion for another, transferring into the Enology program at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. After several years in the California wine industry, and many wine trips throughout Europe and the Southern Hemisphere, Stephen settled in Santa Barbara, inspired by nuanced, cool-climate winemaking styles. Through diligence in the vineyard, harvesting at optimal balance of ripeness and minimal handling in the cellar, Stephen strives to produce wines of both power and clarity, allowing the complexities of each vineyard and vintage to shine over the hand of the winemaker.
